Finding a pub
by Toby Speight 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Should pubs turn up in the "Food and Drink" section of my eTrex's search menu? I get a nice icon, but no searchability - and I find that pubs are often destinations (because it's a common meeting place, not just^W because I'm a secret alcoholic!) I've tried looking in "All POIs", too, and there are none there.

Reworked access tag handling
by Mark Burton 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi, Prompted by Carlos' message, I have reworked the access tag handling. Also, I have removed the built-in handling of footpath, cycleway and bridleway and modified the lines style file to add the appropriate access tags. Also added access tags for steps. So, if you are using your own style files, please modify the lines file accordingly. Please report any breakage. Cheers, Mark

POI Adresses
by Paul Ortyl 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi, I have tested the latest version of patch from Bernhard Heibler. I can see, that as far as the data is correct, the patch works fine with my etrex and should be merged to the trunk possibly soon. I do not know what to think about --location-autofill option. The missing data should be corrected at the source and not heuristicly patched in mkgmap. For this purpose a tool for listing POIs with incomplete addresses could be created. I would like to have the default behaviour of --pois-addresses flipped. I mean add the addresses wherever the data is available and allow the user strip the address information with --no-poi-adresses for creating smaller maps or maps targeted to devices, which have no use for address/phone information. One feature, which has already been mentioned last week are POIs for buildings. It is really a shame, that the better mapped parts of cities get stripped of all restaurants/hotels/supermarkets/... which are already existing on the map as buildings/polygons. Even if solutions in submitted patches are not ideal from the performance point of view, please create the users an option for creating complete map, at the cost of performance. Has anybody an idea how to cram into the POI information shown on the Garmin such things like opening_hours? Thanks for the great work on the conversion tool :) Paul -- Don't take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive. -- Elbert Hubbard

Commit: r937: Fix calculation of Table C size bytes.
by svn commit 26 Feb '09

Version 937 was commited by markb on 2009-02-26 22:33:51 +0000 (Thu, 26 Feb 2009) Fix calculation of Table C size bytes. It didn't take into account the fact that the restriction indices in the nodes area lose a bit for the "last entry" flag.

Commit: r936: Now copes with restriction types that look like no_turn_X.
by svn commit 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Version 936 was commited by markb on 2009-02-26 22:33:46 +0000 (Thu, 26 Feb 2009) Now copes with restriction types that look like no_turn_X. The restriction should have the form no_X_turn but we now allow no_turn_X (but gripe about it so the data will get fixed).
